Help MMM raise 1 million dollars

[PABuck_HNTR]

Dear friend,



We've stopped smiling after our victory defeating the NRA's insane bill that would have given legal immunity to the gun industry.



We've stopped smiling because there are only 55 legislative days left for Congress to renew the ban on assault weapons. When the ban expires, illegal AK-47s, Uzis and other illegal assault weapons will be legalized and back on our streets. Ten years of progress will be wiped out. President Bush is running around the country telling everyone that we must renew the Patriot Act. But he is silent on the renewal of the assault weapons ban. He is supporting the NRA over our children -- it's that simple. It"™s special-interest politics at its worst.



In Illinois just the other day, police arrested a man who had an AK-47 assault rifle, more than 1,300 rounds of ammunition, pipe bomb making components, and a book called Guns, Freedom and Terrorism by National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre. Apparently the man had plans for a killing spree of government officials and politicians. Do we have to wait for another Columbine to come to our senses?



We must send Bush/Cheney a message. Sign the petition at www.stopthenra.com.



Do you care? If you do, it's time to help now.



Momentum is building. Next week Police Chiefs all over the country will be holding press conferences demanding the ban be renewed. The Reverend Jesse Jackson has taken up the cause and is traveling around the country speaking out. The New York Times has editorialized for the renewal, along with many other newspapers around the country. We are being successful -- but we need your help.



1. Forward this e-mail to everyone you know and ask them to sign the petition. We need one million signatures. We now have over 225,000 but we need one million to send it to Bush. Click here.



2. Help us advertise. We have begun our print ads but we need $1 million to spread the word. Click here.



3. Come to Washington, D.C. on Mothers' Day, May 9th, and vote with your presence to stop the NRA and renew the assault weapons ban. Click here.



An Al Qaeda training manual that was found in Afghanistan said the following:



"In countries like the United States it"™s perfectly legal for members of the public to own certain types of firearms. If you live in such a country attain an assault rifle legally, preferably an AK-47 or variations."



Show Bush/Cheney they don"™t have a choice. Sign our petition. Forward to a friend.

Million Moms Planning Another Anti-Gun Rally

(CNSNews.com) - Moms who dislike guns plan to gather in Washington on Mother's Day weekend "to demand gun violence solutions," as their press release put it.

"With children at risk in their schools, their playgrounds and their communities," mothers and others will rally on the weekend of May 8-10, the Million Mom March announced on Monday.

They're calling their rally the "Halt the Assault Weekend."

The group announced its plans on Monday, outside Martin Luther King Jr. High School in New York City, where two students were shot on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday in 2002.

"There are war casualties all around us," said Shikha Hamilton, a spokesperson for Halt the Assault. "We need to stand up and say we've had enough," she added. "We are calling a timeout in the war against the next generation -- our children."

The Million Mom March announced that Essence magazine has agreed to foot part of the bill for the event. The magazine will "reach out aggressively to attract supporters over the next three months," the press release said.

The Mother's Day anti-gun rally will include an interfaith service, speakers, entertainers, "informational" booths and "other visual elements," organizers said.

"The weekend will be preceded by events throughout America urging rational steps to reduce gun violence through legislation, public education, lobbying and other activities," the Million Mom March announced.

"Locally based chapters of the Million Mom March will hold press conferences and other events in their cities to call attention to the need for action to protect America's children."

The group said further details will be posted on its website.

The Million Mom March entered the lexicon on Mother's Day 2000, when thousands of people gathered on the Mall in Washington D.C. to demand "saner gun policies."

"Since our last march, 120,000 Americans -- almost 14,000 of them children -- have died from gun violence," said Mary Leigh Blek, president emeritus of the Million Mom March.

The group's press release did not say whether its definition of "child" includes older teenagers who are involved in gang activity or criminal acts.

Gun foes are pressing Congress to renew and strengthen a national assault weapons ban that is due to expire on Sept. 13.

Unless Congress renews the ban, "AK47s and Uzis will be legal and easier for criminals to acquire," the Million Mom March declared.

The group also complains that, "Weeks ago, the gun lobby's friends in Congress passed a dreadful law that requires rapid destruction of Brady background check records. In the coming weeks, those same Congressional allies of the gun lobby will try to pass gun industry immunity that would slam the courthouse doors on gun violence victims and protect reckless gun dealers..."

"We are all entitled to a life free of gun violence," said Essence magazine's Editor-in-Chief Diane Weathers in the press release announcing Halt the Assault. Essence caters to African-American women.

"The magazine will work hard to help spread the word that women of every color and every economic background have an opportunity to be a force for positive change. The Million Mom March will unite these women and show the impact they have in saving lives," Weathers said.

The Million Mom March describes itself as a grassroots organization leading the fight to prevent gun violence.

So why aren't they demanding an end to criminals? Either way, they're blowing hot air and accomplishing nothing more than the spread of tyranny.
